Academic course management system evaluation using data mining techniques. by Kuan, Sung.

“…Many studies found that most course management systems are not friendly enough to influence learners’ continuance and consequently the full benefits could not always be realized. Traditional research techniques of evaluating the usefulness of course management systems often relied on quantitative or qualitative survey methods, and this can be time-consuming and cumbersome, incurring huge costs. …”

Carbon nanotubes in DC and microwave superconducting circuits by Nersisyan, A

“…With the development of circuit QED, one can study these phenomena using on-chip microwave circuits. …”

Anatomically plausible segmentations: explicitly preserving topology through prior deformations by Wyburd, MK, Dinsdale, NK, Jenkinson, M, Namburete, AIL

“…Further, we show how current SOTA segmentation methods can introduce problematic topological errors. TEDS-Net achieves anatomically plausible segmentation by using learnt topology-preserving fields to deform a prior. …”

Effectiveness of decellularisation & extraction of surfactant in porcine oesophagus by Soh, Joe Yi

“…The full removal of SDS is vital before the tissue can be utilised as SDS is a strong anionic detergent that can solubilise the proteins and lipids that form the membrane; all of which might affect the healthy tissues where the decellularised tissue is supposed to be sited on if washing is not thorough. …”

Geometric Event-Based Quantum Mechanics by Giovannetti, Vittorio, Lloyd, Seth, Maccone, Lorenzo

“…Textbook relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory can be recovered by dividing the event Hilbert spaces into space and time (a foliation) and then conditioning the event states onto the time part. …”

J-integral analysis: an EDXD and DIC comparative study for a fatigue crack by Koko, A, Earp, P, Wigger, T, Tong, J, Marrow, TJ

“…The agreement between the two analyses in this controlled study shows that strain mapping by synchrotron EDXD can provide a reliable method to study the crack fields in more complex problems, such as interactions between crack closure, residual stresses and applied loading.…”

Recognising rotationally symmetric surfaces from their outlines by Forsyth, DA, Mundy, JL, Zisserman, A, Rothwell, CA

“…<br> The techniques we describe work for surfaces that have a rotational symmetry, or are projectively equivalent to a surface with a rotational symmetry, and can be extended to an even larger class of surfaces. …”

A two sample size estimator for large data sets by O'Connell, M, Smith, HW, Thomassen, Ø

“…We propose a simple two sample size “large-small” estimator that uses the full data set for the computationally cheap observed component, but a reduced sample size for the predicted component. …”
